M.B. Klein or Model Train Stuff of Maryland

I always check in with the on-line store Model Train Stuff sometimes I find Marklin Z that others have not received yet or even sold out items. They don’t feature many Marklin Z items, 50 items including track is an average number. Website features accurate inventory and good prices. And sometimes a sale price that is very good. Shipping is prompt with careful packing. I have never had a complaint with Model Train Stuff of Cockeysville, MD.

Faller: Bauernhaus 282785

_DSF8038

Faller’s limited edition laser cut kits for z gauge have thus far included buildings for rural scenes this being a barn/house structure of exposed timber and stucco. Construction of this kit is fun but patience is required: each piece of stucco is glued into section of timber framing, this process takes time and be careful not to lose these tiny parts that each cut out separately. The amount of parts that are individually cut out is staggering, but the realism of the stucco is worth the time and effort. Also included with this kit is fencing made of laser cut wood pigmented in dark brown. I highly recommend collecting each of Faller’s limited edition laser cut kits to complement those offered by Archistories.
